Richard Chai For Target
Our Network Partner, Fops & Dandies, came upon a sneak peek of Richard Chai's capsule collection for Target. The gal 'aint impressed. From what we can tell by the garments they're just exactly Chai's brand of femininity but not exactly align with what he claims is his inspiration, that is, the 1980's. When we first heard about the collaboration we were most excited because Chai has a reputation for selecting the right textiles at the right time. How does this translate to a fifty dollar frock? Our interests were piqued. What Fops and Dandies rightly points out is that, so far, Chai hasn't delivered, neither on the inspiration front, nor on giving us our bang-for-the-buck. It's difficult to speculate at this moment, and, as F&D points out, just too soon to tell. Below, check out Chai's current season offerings, all currently on sale. These garments are faraway from two twenties and a ten but they're significantly marked down and, well, the real thing.
I think you're way off the mark with your comments on this designer's duds at Target. I've been following their Go Int'l campaign from the start and Richard Chai's wears are by far my fav thus far. The attention to details, modern simplicity of his clothes are wearable and fashionable and you can't beat the price. This is one designer you should be keeping your eye on. It's obvious to any fashionista that he's going places!!!
